Rangimarie Te’evale-Hunt, one of our last batch of Millennial Generation kids, has used the usual Victimhood Culture means of production to get her needs met. Over a period of 2 years a government elevator’s voice has changed from English to Maori. I think talking elevators are for deaf people. (So now if you’re deaf you’ve got another problem when it comes to going up and down at this school. You need to speak Maori as well.)

Rangimarie’s entire contribution is the ability to get irritated by the English numbers 1-4 being spoken in a lift. And, to be able to count to three for a recording.

“I was getting toī (irritated). Te reo Māori is our native language and should be used throughout the country, and definitely in elevators….Two years ago, her mother, Māori teacher Marz Hunt, spoke with an elevator repairman about the glitchy voice in the lift.”- Christchurch teen elevating te reo Māori usage – one floor at a time, Stuff (June 2021)

“Thank you Jonelle Matthews (our school’s receptionist) for keeping up your efforts with Schindlers Lifts to make this happen…. 😍” – Rangimarie Te’evale-Hunt, Facebook (today)

“Rangimarie now chose to take the stairs…“I don’t take the lifts because I don’t want to hear my voice.”” – Stuff, ibid

Her mum and the school receptionist then reacted to have the lift company update the firmware. The company did the work using their own time and skill. “It shouldn’t even be a debate,” said the entitled teenager (this is how they say ‘thank you’ in Millennial.)

For this she is given a Fair Go award in 2019 and a feature article today in 2021. And, told by teacher Laura Borrowdale that, “her student had the energy to fight for things that mattered.”

To top it all off, the girl doesn’t even ride in the lift now that it’s ‘fixed’ because that irritates her too. Rangimarie takes the stairs because she doesn’t want to listen to her own voice counting out the numbers 1-4 in Maori at her special elitist inner-city school!!

The reason I’m commenting on this news item is not to disparage Rangimarie Te’evale-Hunt or her award. She’s a young Millennial Social Justice Warrior doing what Victimhood Culture Millennials do best. The point is to look at how Millennials behave in the wild and how Victimhood Culture New Zealanders get their needs met.

The VC takes no responsibility and does none of the work, unless you include counting to 4. She generates a force field of irritation (toī) so that her staff (receptionist and mother) will do the work for her. They, in turn, lean on technicians with genuine skills and value to offer who bend to the will of the irritated child. By lacking assertion, not being able to say “no,” the tantrums of children and their supporters in this way come to rule or lives. This real life Veruca Salt doesn’t say “thank you” for the exception that has been made for her, she says that bending to her will should never have even been a debate. “About time ay?” says her mother after the workmen leave.

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”- George Bernard Shaw¹

Victimhood people don’t actually do anything per se. They tantrum and say things like “I want it now” and “How dare you” until somebody else does it for them. That’s how they get their needs met. They are not alphas in their own lives, they are subordinate to someone else who is. They are second-handers at life itself. They are successful provided the environment they live in is willing to give away value in exchange for the VC to not be offended which is, incidentally, exactly the mode our society has been set to since Rangimarie was old enough to go to school.

Victimhood Culture isn’t real, it’s a shadow of something real. It’s an effect of people who are real propping up something that’s not by giving praise and doing work at their own expense. It’s a sort of reverse busking where you pay someone not to make music. We give fame and fortune and fielty to Victimhood Culture not because of what they contribute but because we wish, for however long, for their screeching offended tantrum to abate.

1 George Bernard Shaw, Victimhood Culture intellectual, accurately represents the key idea the VC has about how to affect change in the world. For example, elevator technicians and even receptionists organise the change but sometimes take time out from delivering progress to paying customers to do charity work to stop unreasonable people throwing tantrums by giving them free stuff.

Note: If this Victimhood Culture thing goes on much longer I predict Countdown will create Maori-speaking self-service checkout robots.
